Ponte Vedra Inn & Club

An AAA Five Diamond oceanfront resort with 36 holes of private golf, ten minutes from the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass.

The property

The Ponte Vedra Inn and Club predates TPC Sawgrass by decades and operates in a different register from the Marriott resort built around the tournament. Roughly 250 rooms face the Atlantic, the property holds AAA Five Diamond recognition, and 36 holes of private golf, the Ocean Course and the Lagoon Course, are reserved for resort guests. Pools, a spa, tennis, and boutiques round out the amenity set, and the atmosphere stays quieter and more refined than a 514-room property can typically achieve. The drive to the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass is roughly ten minutes.

What to expect

Five Diamond service, oceanfront rooms, and access to two private courses no other visitor can play. Expect the scale to be smaller than the Marriott, the service more personal, and the evening hours quieter. Mornings tend toward private golf at the Inn, afternoons toward tee times at TPC Sawgrass; the daily rhythm leverages both properties without overlap.

Rates and booking

$350 to $600 per night, the top of the destination's accommodation market. The premium over the Marriott buys oceanfront positioning, Five Diamond service, and 36 private holes. Book direct through the resort to access golf packages and Stadium Course tee time coordination.
